1971 Map of Canton SW

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Spring Valley Creek and Running Turkey Creek wind through this rural landscape in McPherson County, recorded during a 1971 field check. The area is defined by the organized grid of the Canton, Spring Valley, and Meridian townships, where agriculture and early energy extraction intersect. Scattered Oil Wells appear across the northern sections, particularly near the township boundary of Empire. This map provides significant detail for family historians, documenting the exact locations of local social hubs including Sunny Hill Sch and Spring Valley Sch. Religious and community life is anchored by several rural congregations, such as Immanuel Ch, Lone Tree Ch, and Spring Valley Ch. Small family and community burial grounds, including Meridian Cem, are clearly marked alongside watercourses like Black Kettle Creek and Sand Creek.
